Joko : 4 _{. It is not necessary. Why don't you}

ask the qualiﬁ_{ed ones among us. Or are you}

still doubtful about us?

Niluh : Oh, of course not. I believe that we are still able to show our quality and capability, in fact from time to time many people from different levels want to learn English here. It means that they are satisﬁ_ed.

Hani : Are you going to accept children to study here?

Niluh : Why not? As long as we are still trusted and able to handle them we will open new classes. So should we recruit new instructors? I myself heard statements from some consumers that

the blossoms and carry it to their hives. Each worker bee has a pouch on its body, called 2_{______ where the nectar}

New Horizon

The oldest and most famous international scholarships are Rhodes Scholarships. It's an award that enables students from many countries to study at Oxford University in England. The scholarship pays the student's tuition fees and also provides an allowance to cover living expenses. Scholarships are awarded for two years, but are sometimes extended for a third year.

(The World Book Encyclopedia Volume 16, 1996)

Rudi : Yeah. Next month I must stop my studies because my father retired three months ago. So he cannot pay my school fees.

Lidya : Take it easy. It is not a serious problem. Rudi : What? How can I solve the problem?

Lidya : Okay. I reckon you ask for a letter from the authority telling that your family can't afford the school fees. Then you submit the letter to your school or to the parents' representative.

Nina : In my opinion, you can also request scholarship. I think you are the best.

Rudi : Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I'll try to do that.

Lidya : Good luck.

Kangaroos eat grass and plants. They have short front legs, but very long, and very strong back legs and a tail. These are used for sitting up and for jumping. Kangaroos have been known to make forward jumps of over eight metres, and leap across fences more than three metres high. They can also run at speeds of over 45 kilometres per hour.

What Is Thunder and Lightning?

Lightning is a sudden, violent

ﬂ_{ash of electricity between a cloud and}

the ground, or from cloud to cloud. A lightning ﬂ_{ash, or bolt, can be several}

miles long. It is so hot, with an average temperature of 34,000° Centigrade, that

the air around it suddenly expands with a loud blast. This is the thunder we hear.

Lightning occurs in hot, wet storms. Moist air is driven up to a great height. It forms a type of cloud called cumulo-nimbus. When the cloud rises high enough, the moisture freezes and ice crystals and snowﬂ_{akes are formed.}

These begin to fall, turning to rain on the way down. This rain meets more moist air rising, and it is the friction between them which produces static electricity. When a cloud is fully charged with this electricity, it discharges it as a lightning

ﬂ_ash.

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

Ali Baba was such a poor man that he had only one shoe for his two feet. Even the mice in his house were hungry.

One day, his wife said, "We have no food in the house. No rice. No potatoes. Go and collect leaves in the forest so that I can make a soup."

Ali was a lazy man. He looked for leaves for about ten minutes and then he climbed a tree to sleep. He was afraid of wolves. When he woke up, he was surprised to see forty thieves on forty horses. They stopped in front of a big rock.

"Open Sesame!" shouted the leader. A door on the rock opened. The thieves carried sacks full of gold into the cave. When they had finished, the leader shouted.

"Close Sesame!" and the door closed. As soon as the thieves had disappeared Ali Baba jumped down

from the tree, said, "Open Sesame" and went into the cave.

There were shelves all around the walls. The shelves were full of sacks. And the sacks were full of gold. Ali took a sack home with him.

Unfortunately, one of the thieves saw Ali's footprints on the sand. He followed them to Ali's home. He took out his knife and made a cross on the door.

"Now I shall know which house it is," he said.

He rode off to get the other thieves. But Ali had seen the thief.

He and his wife took brooms and swept away the footprints. Then he made crosses on every door at the street. When the forty thieves arrived they had their knives between their teeth. But they couldn't ﬁ_{nd either Ali}

– or the gold. And Ali and his wife lived happily ever after.

Folklore is what people pass on to their children and grandchildren. Folk songs, fairy tales, and folktales are folklore. So are myths, or stories about gods and goddesses, and legends, or stories based on real people or stories based on real people or events.

Folklore also includes many things people say and do in everyday life. Arts and crafts, dances, games, nursery rhymes, and sayings are all folklore.

Why Does the Cock Eat the Millipede?

Long ago the cock had a pair of beautiful horns on his head. But at that time there was a dragon who was prevented from ascending into heaven because he lacked a pair of horns. And so he offered the millipede as a guarantor, and borrowed the horns from the cock!

When the millipede came for the horns, he said to the cock: "When you want your horns back, you must call out at dawn: 'Give me back my horns!' and they will be returned to you at once. You need have no occasion to be concerned in the least."

The kind cock knew how difficult it was to ascend to heaven, so, reassured by the good security the millipede offered, he loaned his horns without hesitation, just twisting them right off his head. He also thought to himself that when the dragon returned form his visit to heaven, they could sit down and have a good conversation; he would ask the dragon to tell him how things were in heaven, and if it really was beautiful there, as he had always heard. If it was true, he might consider going there himself someday, he thought.

Evaluation

(47)

So, next morning at daybreak (for the dragon's visit was scheduled to be brief), the cock called out loudly: "Give me back my horns!" But, even though he repeated this demand ten times over, there was no sign at all of either the dragon or the horns. Worried, the cock promptly went off to complain to the millipede, who soothed him, saying: "If the dragon has not returned the horns this morning, then he will certainly do so tomorrow. At the very latest, the day after that. Just learn to be a little patient and your horns will soon be back on your head, just as before."

The cock did wait several days, but although he called out every morning at sunrise: "Give me back my horns!" They never did reappear. The cock was extremely annoyed at this deception and loss, as you can well imagine, therefore he ordered all the members of his family to eat millipedes on sight.

Even so, the cock has not yet given up hope of getting his horns returned. He ordered his descendants always to call out at the break of day: "Give me back my horns!" He still hopes that the dragon may hear him!

Miss Mole Catches a Ghost

Quite often Miss Mole would look after the young ones who lived in the woodland, when their parents went out in the evening.

"I just love baby-sitting," sighed Miss Mole, as she gazed at the little animals, "you're all such darlings!"

"But we're not babies," grumbled the fieldmice twins, "we're almost grown up!"

"Well you'll always be babies to me," giggled Miss Mole, as she gave them all a great big hug.

But one evening when Miss Mole was baby-sitting, something very strange happened ...

All the little animals had walked over to Miss Mole's house just before dark. They were laughing and joking and making lots of noise as they went along.

All of a sudden one of the rabbits heard a strange sound. Then one or two of the little animals saw something move near the top of the trees.

"What was that?" gasped a baby badger as he grabbed one of the squirrels.

Then, as the wind rustled the leaves on the tree ... they all saw it ... a spooky white thing ﬂ_{ying through the}

branches!

"It's a ghost!" screamed a small hedgehog. And everyone ran as fast as they could and landed on a heap at Miss Mole's front door.

"Whatever is wrong?" cried Miss Mole as she opened her door, and in fell all the little animals.

"We've seen a ghost!" sobbed the rabbit. "It's chased us all the way through the wood, and now it's up in that tree!"

Miss Mole put on her extra strong glasses and took a good look.

"Goodness me," she gasped, "there it is!"

Right then and there, brave Miss Mole reached for her longest broom and pulled something out of the branches above.

"Here's your ghost," laughed Miss Mole. "It's a plastic bag. I lost it on my way back from the woodland supermarket!"

All the little animals breathed a big sigh of relief as Miss Mole took them inside and closed the door.

"Gather round and I'll tell you a story," she said kindly.

"As long as it's not a ghost story," whispered the baby badger.

When a visitor to Bearborough last year forgot to put on her watch, she asked some local bears the time and she got some strange answers.

"Half past three," the bear who sells fruit and vegetables said, glancing up at the Town Hall clock.

"A quarter to nine," the bear in the bakery replied, looking at the clock high on the church.

"Nine minutes after ﬁ_{ve," the bear}

who sells ice cream on the corner of the main street said, peering at the clock in front of the train station.

You have probably guessed that all the clocks in Bearborough were wrong. That was because old Mr Minim, the only clock mender in town, had become a little shaky on his legs. Although ﬁ_t

and well in every other way, he simply could not face climbing up a ladder to mend clocks high up.

As you can imagine, the clocks really were a problem. The trains were never on time, and the shopkeepers didn't know when to open their shops.

Then, one day, Bearborough had two very special visitors. They were bears called Alfred and his friend Jumble-who was an elephant! Now most bears in Bearborough had never seen an elephant before, so they all gathered round. And the elephant, pleased to show off his size and strength, wrapped his trunk around each of the little bears in turn and lifted them up high, squealing with excitement.

(52)

"Excuse me, Jumble," said Mr Minim, tapping him lightly on the toe with his walking stick. "Could you lift a grown-up bear, like me, for example?"

In seconds, Mr Minim found himself dangling above the crowd, yet he felt as safe as if he was standing on

ﬁ_{rm ground.}

And that is why, if you visit Bearborough these days, all the clocks are exactly right, for Jumble visits every twelve months, and Mr Minim always says that's the highlight of his year!
